New additions at Dixieland Acres

We've had some new additions this spring/summer at Dixieland Acres. Danielle's egg sales have been doing very well so we added some new chicks - 4 black astralorps, 4 buff orpingtons, 4 americaunas, 2 Black Tailed White Japanese bantams, 1 Black Silkie Bantam & 1 Buff Silkie Bantam. We also had some Rhode Island red hens & 2 roosters given to us.


Our other new additions - 3 pea chicks & 4 guinea keets. Our peahen, Priscilla, hatched all 7 - we think she took over the guinea nest after it was started.

We enjoy watching all the new babies. :) We've borrowed an incubator from a friend & are getting ready to try to hatch some more guineas & chickens.
